Some time ago I was told the best way to handle people who call themselves Atheists is to simply ask, “so who is she?” He means that Atheists are Atheists because they want to commit fornication with someone. I have learned that that the desire is not always for a woman, it isn’t even always for sex. But it is always a desire for something God condemns as sin. The comeback is always some form of “who are you to condemn (judge, tell Me how to live) Me. You are just a hypocrite.” Evidence has never worked with any atheist I have talked to. Their minds are made up.

All humans are sinners. It is easy to point to our sins. But believers accept the payment of the blood of Jesus Christ for our sins. Because we are blood washed and redeemed, we face the Judgment seat of Christ. This is like a judge in the Olympics. It is rewards or lack of rewards for our activities in this life.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

Unbelievers do not accept the fact of judgment. They face the Great White Throne Judgment. They will be judged on two things, what they did with the information God gave them concerning His Son, Jesus Christ and how they lived their lives. As the judgment seat of Christ is rewards or lack of rewards for believers, so the Great White Throne Judgment is degree of punishment for unbelievers.

Revelation 20:11-15 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
